A Shabby Sort of ENTERPRISE.

New York city is the recognized headquar-
ters in this country of every description of
scheming for the acquisition of wealth with
out labor. An attorney, whose place of bust
ness is in Aldrich court, remarked: "Among
the novel projects for making money which
l have come across recently is that of specu-
lating in the franchises of interior towns and
cities for public improvements. Thus two or
three men in New York will make raid on
some town to obtain a street car franchise.
representing themselves backed by immense
capital, which is only waiting an opportunity
of investment in street car lines On secur-
ing franchise from the town by such repre-
sentations they will come back to New York
and peddle it out for $500 or 81 900 or what
ever they can get for it. The result usually
is that the town gets street car line with a
thirty pound I rail built on cross ties, and
cheap cars, which look very well when freshly
painted. The whole thing is sold out in a
hurry and some one gets left, while the town
itself has a miserable street car line on its
hands.
"The same process is being carried on in
reference to water works, gas works, electric
lighting systems and similar public improve
ments. There are scores of men in New York
who make living in just such shabby enter
prises. There is no way to head them off ex-
cept for the authorities in the towns and vii
lages Of the country to make closer investi-

There is no stronger advocate OF pro-
hibition in Iowa than the Sioux City
Journal. but it has the fairness to admit
that the sentiment 1t espouses is not
gaining ground in its OWE city after a
years trial. Here is it's conclusions:
During the year there has been legal
prohibition of the saloons in Sioux City.
The aw has been better enforced in Sioux
City than IN any other city of the first
clsss. 1t was sought to gain from Sioux
City a verdict of approval in behalf of
clincd to render such a verdict. The in
ity of the electors of Sioux City are op-
posed to the existing p%rohibitory liquor
law, and in favor of its repeal and the
substitution of a license law. There is
10 escaping from this conclusion. 1t is
supported by the result of the election
at every point-whether the application
be made upon the ~governorship, the leg
i~slative ticket, the Office of sheriff, or
elsewhere. There is not anywhere evil
dence that the majority OF the electors
of Sioux City are otherwise than opposed
10 the continued existence of tho law.
The Judgment is as conclusive and de-
libarate as could be afforded at a popu-
lar election. The year has been one of
especial trial of the law. 1t has fewer
friends in Sioux City now than it had d
year ago. The growth of public senti-
ment against the law has not been nur'
tured by the presence of the saloon.
Many of tho prominent saloon men have
left the city. The opponents of prohi'
bition have increased in number not
withst.nding.

forthwith. In the meantime parents

Sportsmcn complain quite a little
about the Dakota game law, and many
of them are wondering what the last
legislature could have been thinking Of.
The law, however. realizes the objects
of its originators, which was the regu-
lation of the wholesale slaughter of
game which has hitherto been one of
the marked features Of the hunting sea
son. People in Dakota haye not yet
ceased to bewail the almost total exter.
mination of the buffalo and other large
game IN many localities, and are not pre-
pared to witness with their hands down
the loss Of the great territory's reputa-
ton as a hunting ground, which would
certainly result in a few years were all
barriers removed. The law is peculiar
in this that il makes it a Enable offcnse
for railroad or express companies to car
ry game out Of the territory. Hunters
complain that they are thus kept from
taking home the game they kill, and
their sport is consequently limited or
much they kill will be vested. The
main object OF the law is to check this
wholesale waste Of game. 1t does not
encourage foreign sportsmen or the
killing Of game for pecuniary gain. In
some sections the law is being enforced,
and it will certainly serve a good pur-
pose if the people see that it is obeycd.

The funeral of the five dead anarchists,
Spies, Parsons. Engle, Fischer and Lining
took place in Chicago, Monday. No
disturbance Of any kind occurred in the
city. 1t was the most largely attended
funeral ever seen in the city. The pro-
cession was over a half hour passing a
given point and had nearly 10000 men
in the parade. 1t took thirty-ive pas
senger coaches to transport the friends
to the cemetery ten miles out of the
city. Several highly infamatory
speeches took place at the receiving
vault.
Illustrative of the depreciation of the
value Of land in England, it may be
stated that a farm in Lincolnshire, was
recently offered for sale, and the
highest bid was 81, 400, although there
was a mortgage of 5 1000 on the prop
crty. The price offered was Ga an acre;
the land originally cost e100 an acre.
During the fortnight ending October Is,
1872 farms, with On aggregate of 90, 900
acres, were offered for sale in Cumber.
land and Westmoreland. Less than half
the price current 10 years ago was
offered.
